is in actual practice； the most natural； scientific； and successful system of
medicine； yet given to the world； based； as it is； upon the well…known law
of affinites； 〃Similia similibus curantur；〃 〃like cures like；〃 being a very
ancient axiom in the astrological practice of physic。
Bulwer Lytton； who had become thoroughly convinced of the great
value and importance of uniting ancient Alchemy with modern medicine；
makes the hero of his immortal story declare： 〃All that we propose to do is
this： To find out the secrets of the human frame； to know why the parts
ossify and the blood stagnates； and to apply continual preventives to the
effects of time。 THIS IS NOT MAGIC； IT IS THE ART OF MEDICINE；
RIGHTLY UNDERSTOOD。〃
It is a fact that； the molecules of the body are all changed within
twelve months； that every cell in the human organism is born and grows to
maturity within that space of time。 Nature is absolutely impartial。 She
draws from the atmosphere that she may reproduce a fac…simile of
everything she finds upon the surface of the body。 So； if there be a sore； or
festering ulcer； the atoms which are thrown off attract similar atoms； so as
to reproduce the ulcer or sore； and thus prevent the disease from getting
well of itself until it has worn itself out。
Further； every vein and canal throughout the entire body； from youth to
maturity； is being coated with carbonate of lime； or lime in some form。
The coating of the walls of the veins in such a manner； prevents the free
circulation of the living matter； then； the real vitality of the food which we
eat； is simply passed off through the pores； or through the bowels； or
through the system； because it is unable to penetrate through the lime。
If that prevention which produces old age can be attained； then
physical youth will continue。
The first step to take is to dissolve the lime in the body。 Drink nothing
but distilled water； in either tea； coffee； or any other form； and drink freely
of the sweet juices of the grape and apple。
The food that we eat contains lime in a living form； and it is the living
lime we need to build up the living bones； for the lime and the magnesia

that we take in the water is crystallized dead mineral； possessing no
responsibility of life； and the lime in our food is quite sufficient for all
purposes。 For everything we take in excess； Nature makes us pay the
penalty。
The first principle of long living is to keep all channels of the body
perfect and free from coatings of lime。
The second is that of youthful ideals of the mind。 The soul never
grows old。
The third principle is dynamic breathing； which is storing up the
oxygen in sufficient quantities； to supply the tissues with sufficient fuel；
for combustion。
These three principles； acting in unison； contain the true basis of
physical life and a means of long living。 Old age is simply the petrifaction
of the body through lime； and the incorporating of erroneous thoughts into
the organism。
It is the true Alchemy of human existence； and the preventives； in each
and every case must contain the spiritual correspondence to the cause they
seek to remedy； and； though the followers of Hahnemann base the whole
of their procedure of treatment upon their master's fundamental law of
〃Similia similibus curantur；〃 yet； there may be a few rare cases wherein；
this undeviating method would not apply with the required effect。 In such
a case； the Alchemist would resort to the well…known law of opposites； and
base his treatment upon the dogma of 〃Contraria contrariis curantur；〃 so
long the pet theory of the Allopathic school。 They work upon the
hypothesis that； like attracts like； and； if disease exist； those elements must
be administered to set up the vibrations that will produce the polar
opposite。 If the body was racked with pain； those medicines would not be
given that would create or increase similar conditions； but； their antipathy
would be introduced into the system or applied locally to extinguish the
foe。
So long as mankind remain within the semicrystallized state of soul
development； so as to require the aid of external forces to support the
human throne within its earthly temple； mercenary troops will exist to
supply these supposed supports。

Unquestionably； the astrological law is the true system of medicine；
which treats disease by sympathy or by antipathy； according to the nature
of the case； and the efficacy of the remedies at hand。 This method is the
only natural one； and has been thoroughly demonstrated by the numerous
〃provings of drugs〃 under Hahnemann's law。
Happily； the time is not far distant when； the incarnated spirit will be
able to use its own slumbering forces； and subdue all suffering and
symptoms of disease in their very first inception； by virtue of its purer life
and the dynamic potencies of its own interior； spiritual thought。 Already；
mental therapeutics is taking an advanced position among liberal；
progressive minds； and nothing demonstrates so clearly and forcibly the
grand； alchemical law of life…growth and decay； as the imponderable；
invisible forces； which； constitute the materia medica； or remedial agents；
of mental； magnetic； and spiritual healing。
Perhaps the most recondite subject connected with the healing art
divine is； the modus operandi of medicinal action； upon the human body。
A subject so simple and self…evident to the Alchemist； remains a profound
mystery to the educated physician of the medical college； so much so that；
we are tempted to ask of them： 〃Can you explain the modus operandi of
drugs？〃 Dr。 William Sharp； one of the most advanced physicians of the
Homeopathic school； in one of his well… known 〃Essays on Medicine；〃
says： 〃In respect to the manner of action of drugs we are in total darkness；
and we are so blind that the darkness is not felt。 KNOWLEDGE OF THIS
KIND CANNOT BE ATTAINED； it is labor lost and TIME wasted to go
in search of it。 True； hypotheses may be easily conceived； so may straws
be gathered from the surface of the stream。 But what are either of them
worth？ There is this difference between themstraws may amuse children；
and hypotheses are sure to mislead physicians。〃
It is when the Occult Initiate observes to what helpless conditions the
practice of medicine has fallen； that； he would； if be could with any
possibility of success； implore the angelic guardian of the human race to
open the spiritual sight of men； that they might see； as he sees； the Divine
relationship； and spiritual correspondence； of everything in the wide
universe to man。

Nature's laws move slowly and imperceptibly； yet surely and exact；
and the time will certainly come when man
